If you already have a quetzal and want to tame another one, make a 3x3x3 structure on the back of the quetz platform you already have and leave one side open for the quetz to fly in. then fly in front of the quetz you are looking to take, and right before it fly's out of the front of your cage, hop off the quetz and it will become solid. Once it is inside, place a wall behind it on the wall you left open. It will be stuck, and you are free to tame it with no chance of anything hostile ruining your tame. Since you aren't riding the quetz, it will regen stamina in the air and you can hover until the tame is done. Once its done, just destroy the wall you put to trap it and fly straight and it will fall out and follow you. Enjoy your quetz :)

When trying to knock out a quetzal, do not try to grapple to it and shoot it because the moment it is hit with the dart or arrow, the grapple will break and you will die and most likely have your body fall through the world if you don't have a parachute on you.

Grapple an argentavis and go find a low level quetzal (faster knock out). Then dismount it and use your spyglass to whistle attack my target aiming the quetz. When you're close enough shoot it in the face as redo the process with the spyglass.

Requirements: Argentavis with about 2000 stamina with about 110 movement speed and a good amount of melee damage, Crossbow(tranq arrow)/Longneck Rifle Tranq dart), about 50 or more tranquilizers, and about 100 or more narcotics.

In order to knock out the quetzal, the best way is to find a buddy who is willing to help you out. Give the tranq gun to your friend, as he/she will be shooting. You want to get your argentavis and pick them up with the talons. Make sure you don't forget the narcotics! When you have your friend in your talons, go find the quetzal. When you find it I reccomend you land and regain stamina, but don't lose the quetzal. Once you have regained your stamina pick up your friend and proceed to knock out the quetzal. Be sure whoever is shooting to hit it in the head, or else it will take quite a while to take it down. Don't be afraid to land to regain stamina again if needed. Once the quetzal is knocked out, you need to use the narcotics and get food for him.

Build a ramp on the side of the platform saddle and park an anky on the edge of the ramp. Fly to your favorite metal node farming spot with your tribe and let them just swing away. The anky's weight doesn't affect the quetz's weight.

Knocking Out: To knock out a Quetz, best idea you can do is be carried by a Argie, people say Ptera but I prefer not since it's feet can easily be shot by the arrow, and keep on targeting the head. Remember to put speed up for Argie as the Quetz have a decent speed on their hands. You can also use another Quetz with a platform, but this is only if you do not own another one.

Knocking it out: First, you will need an argey, 2 crossbows, parachutes, tranqs, and grappling hooks. Fly up to the quetz with the argey, hop off with parachute, make sure argey is following you,grapple to it then whistle attack target on the quetz, then when you get close enough to shoot it with a tranq arrow, whistle passive then shoot, quickly whistle attack target on the quetz because it will flee far and fast. Repeat this until it is successfully knocked out.

Use a tapejara to tame, simply get a friend with tranqs to sit on the front seat and shoot it while the driver follows it.

Have one of your tribe members pick you or another person up while holding a crossbow/rifle then simple have the flyer fly over the quetzal and shoot at it till KO'ed

If your alone do the same thing except use a grappling hook and connect to your flyer of choice and whistle the flyer to attack my target while aiming at the quetzal and whistle stop all when in shooting distance of the quetzal

Why dont everyone talks about the griffin method. If u are in late game and ur quetzal died. Use a griffin to knock it out. Since griffins are fast and u can use either a longneck or crossbow to tame it. It may not sound fun but trust me. Works everytime. Hope this helps

You can use a rare flower and a birdcage trap in order to tame. Use 4 behemoth gateways and 2 gates, line them up like you would an argy trap, use the flower next to the Quetzal when it flies close to something like a mountain, or use it on the back of a flyer, and lead it into the trap just like you would an argy.

Anyone know what level mobile players unlock the platform saddle?

Use rare mushrooms and a flyer to lure the quetzal to a premade trap. Try and have the trap secluded and in a higher position so that you aggro less creatures with the mushrooms.

Anyone who wants to ride a tamed but no saddle complete tame quetzal and u get a saddle i got journey man after tame quetz its tame titano

just make a trap with 3 bahemoth gates like a huge argie trap and lure it in with rare flower

You have to use darts for this Dino, or else it will die.

If you use an owl and freeze it in the air, you can trap it with gates, and it cant flu away

Make a thatch platform 2 or 3 high and surround it with thatch but make sure you can still shoot it and make sure to put a revival platform in the center kill your quetzal take its implant and revive it. It worked for me every time just make sure you have amber, narcotics and a tranquilizer dart in a gun easy peasy and you can let it sit there if you need to get more stuff

Switching seats on a Tap and doesn’t work on mobile. I just grappled onto a argy and shot it out of the air. Don’t deploy a parachute beforehand though because it takes forever to get to the ground. Release the grapple, then deploy the parachute. I learned that the hard way.

Best way to do this is with your tribeman if u dont has....
